Zöld Kör - Föld Barátai Magyarország tagja
Bodrogolaszi, Hungary
Description
Within the ESC volunteer program, we are looking for 15 young people for a short period of 3,5 weeks, who will join the nature conservation programs of our association to maintain educational trails and nature conservation areas, such as o reclamation of alien, invasive plant species in a nature reserve, o elimination of illegal landfills and ongoing clean-up at Bodrog o maintenance of bird and mammal protection equipment (bird nests, nesting boxes, etc.). These activities are carried out for 2,5 weeks along the Bodrog. For the remaining 1 week, they will be involved in the clean-up of the Hungarian section of the Bodrog River during the event PET cup, where we will try to collect the waste floating on the river. Volunteers work 5 days a week, giving them an average of 6 hours a day, giving them two days off a week. Volunteers are provided with a pocket money of EUR 7 per person per day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Cz0gZp3nE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMyUacNUmec
